REVIEWS

I had heard about how great 23/11 Events was but I am event planner so thought I would handle things myself when it came to my wedding. It wasn't long before I realized that, while I could handle the planning, I would not enjoy the day if I didn't have someone there to oversea decorating and working with the venue staff.

The team came in and out without me even knowing they were there, all with little time and my being able to show them how I wanted everything the week before the wedding. It was the best decision I made!

Even if you can handle wedding planning, the big day needs extra hands..and hands who are experts at set-up...these ladies are just that.

Thanks Amy, Jenn and team!

Since our youngest daughter has worked in the event planning industry, we originally believed we would be able to handle our oldest daughter’s out of town wedding without additional help. What a mistake that would have been!
As the wedding approached, we began to get more concerned about our ability to manage the many details of the event, as well as arrange all the décor, and still be able to enjoy our daughter’s special day. The fact that our youngest daughter was also the maid of honor, and would naturally be spending a lot of the day helping her sister, also meant she would not have a lot of time to be our event planner that day.
Just ten days before the wedding, our youngest daughter contacted Amy to see if 23Eleven Events was available, and would be willing to step in at the last minute to help us out. Fortunately for us, the answer was YES!
From the moment I met Amy (six days before the wedding), I began to relax. We had a lot of detailed décor, and extensive notes about how we had intended to set up the ceremony site and reception room, thanks to our youngest daughter. Amy went through everything with us, made some excellent suggestions, and said, “OK, leave it to me.”
Amy and her staff (Sarah and Jeremy) took the ball and ran with it. They were professional, efficient, courteous, and so easy to work with. Truthfully, I do not know how we could have managed without 23Eleven. It really seemed like they were family, rather than a company we had hired.
Deciding to hire a wedding planner ten days before a wedding – who does this?? Although I would not recommend waiting as long as we did, I definitely recommend choosing Amy and 23Eleven to plan and coordinate a wedding - or any event! They are FANTASTIC!

After my mom decided to hire Amy at the last minute to provide day-of-coordination for my wedding, I cannot imagine the event without her and the rest of the 23eleven team!!! As a bride who does not like to be bombarded with questions and prefers to be told what to do, Amy was able to direct the entire day in a gentle but firm way to ensure everything was just the way I wanted. Also, if I could give the staff a 10 out of 5 for responsiveness I would! Amy was available at any hour, day or night, and the rest of her team was there 110% the day of the event for anything we needed. Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend 23eleven to ANYONE who is looking for a wedding planner or day-of-coordinator for their special day!

So I'll start of by saying that we had decided not to have a wedding planner. With a week left until the wedding, we all realized we were in a little bit over our head with setup and things running smoothly. This is when we found Amy at 23Eleven. As a very hands on and involved groom, I honestly can say that I'm so thankful we did.

Amy and her crew were such a pleasure to work with. She was very personable and immediately got all the wedding information from us and organized it all and contacted all of our vendors to coordinate. She had no problem with us contacting her with questions or complicated problems that we weren't sure how to to solve. The ability for 23Eleven to quickly understand our wedding and start coordinating all the details from no details to fully running was incredible.

When the day of our wedding rolled around, it was so nice to have 23Eleven there to fall back on. I cannot imagine having friends and family doing everything they did. From setup to tear down, bride and groom coordination and helping with even small details such as pinning on boutonnieres it was so stress relieving to know someone was taking care of this.

Being such a last second thing, I didn't expect the greatest coordination or quality out of 23Eleven, and was completely blown away that their ability to hit the ground running and get things done.

Our wedding day went without a hitch and was absolutely perfect. We did a lot of work leading up to this date, but I have no hesitation in saying that it wouldn't have been the same event without 23Eleven there to help. It was such a pleasure to work with them...they truly felt like family by the end of the night and couldnt imagine the wedding without them there.

When I first got engaged I immediately started researching wedding planners and am so happy that I found Amy, and 23 eleven events!!! Upon meeting Amy I was nervous being a first time bride I wasn't sure what to expect but she was super nice and helpful and generally excited to help plan our wedding! She put me right at ease and as the months went on she was happy to help whenever I would call or text question after question!
A few weeks before the wedding my husband and I met with Sarah our wedding day coordinator and again I wasn't sure what to expect, considering I had been talking and spending time with Amy, but Sarah was super friendly and also very helpful with all the little things that can pop up last minute! I honestly have nothing but nice things to say about the 23 eleven girls!!
Our wedding day was perfect, everything that we had spent months and months planning for came together, and it was gorgeous more than I could of ever imagined! The girls took my vision and made it look like something out of a wedding magazine! I would definitely recommend any bride looking for some help planning their wedding to 23 eleven events!!!

If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further than 23Eleven Events! Amy and her team did an AMAZING job with every detail of our wedding. Not only is she very knowledge about everything to do with weddings. She is also super fun and easy to work with. Amy made sure everything went off the day of the wedding without any problem, I didn't have to worry about a thing it was all taken care of for me.

As well as coordination Amy also did all of our decorations. They turned out more beautiful then I could have ever imagined! I gave Amy ideas of things that I liked and she really made my dream come to life. The centerpieces were beautiful and my bouquet was the most gorgeous bouquet I have ever seen! I got a ton of compliments on my bouquet as well as the rest of our decorations and I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! It was GORGEOUS thanks to Amy and her team. We could not have pulled off such an awesome wedding without the help of Amy and the rest of the 23Eleven Events team!

23Eleven Events did my wedding on May 31st and Amy made such a pleasurable and easy wedding day experience for me. Not only is she so fun and personable but she really knew her stuff. If i had an issue, she had an answer.

Amy made my bouquet and one of my photographers said it was the prettiest arrangement she had ever seen. someone who has done hundreds of weddings thought Amy's was the best and she was so right! All i did was tell Amy what i liked and sent her some pictures and she was spot on.

during the actual ceremony she was so helpful, doing her best to make sure i didn't have to deal with anything or anyone. she was so knowledgeable when people asked her what to do and where to go. We had no hiccups or delays because the 23Eleven staff was so on top of everything.

The reception was in a new venue (i was only the second bride) and the staff at the barn were very scattered but as soon as Amy got there to the time it was over she handled everything. I didn't know until the next day that Amy had to handle multiple things the barn didn't come threw on. I so appreciate the fact that she MADE SURE i wasn't bothered with anything. Even if i would ask she would just say "I've got it" and she really did!

Walking into the reception was like a fairytale. It was all my thoughts i had communicated to Amy months before. The whole night i was just so in awe. So thank you thank you thank you 23Eleven Events. Truly made my wedding the best day of my life. i can't thank you enough. I would recommend them a thousand times over!

Sarah, from 23Eleven Events was my day- of- coordinator on my wedding day in January 2014. Her services included not only her presence the whole day of our wedding, but a few meetings the month before the wedding as well as organization of our wedding rehearsal. Sarah went above and beyond to get to know me and our wedding vision before the big day.

The day of the wedding, I never felt that I had to worry about where I was supposed to be. Sarah was there to get me and my whole wedding party where we needed to be at the right time. The whole day was perfectly orchestrated, and I know this has everything to do with her hard work throughout the day.

During our reception, it turned out that there was a mistake and there weren't enough seats at our head table. I recall mentioning this quietly, and suddenly, Sarah was there with a number of hotel staff carrying chairs over to the table. My mother also reported to me how helpful and careful Sarah was to gather all of the wedding decorations at the end of the night and help my family get things where they needed to be.

I would imagine that it is a natural part of being a wedding planner that so much of your work goes unnoticed and unsung due to how much has to be done behind the scenes. That being said, I know, undoubtedly, that my wedding would not have run as smoothly without the help of Sarah from 23Eleven events. I am so grateful to have had her as a part of our wedding day!

Amy and Sarah did an amazing job! They both have great personalities and are easy to work with. They were hired to do "day of wedding coordination" and all of our floral arrangements for the tables and the bridal party bouquets. They allowed my family and I to enjoy the wedding without worrying about vendors being on time and making sure the expectations of each vendor was met. As the bride, I forgot to put deodorant on in the morning and I realized this at the reception. How embarrassing! I explained this to Sarah and she quickly found some deodorant for me. Thank you, Sarah haha!!! Amy exceeded my expectations with the floral arrangements. I was very particular how I wanted the flowers to look, we even laughed about how picky I was! I LOVED my bridal bouquet of all white phalaenopsis orchids, it looked like something you would see on Pinterest or in a bridal magazine! Thank you Amy and Sarah for everything! :)

23Eleven Events did an exceptional job with the floral and decor for our wedding. Amy was very helpful and was readily available whenever I needed something or had questions. It was like talking to a friend, she understood everything that I wanted and designed the beautiful, elegant country wedding I had dreamed of. When disaster struck 8 weeks before the wedding, 23Eleven Events was very flexible and accommodating to all the last minute changes and was still able to bring my vision to life and stay within my budget. I remember walking into the room for the first time before the wedding and being totally blown away. Every last detail, outdoors and indoors, from the ceremony grounds, to the dinner reception in the carriage house and out in the dance pavilion was better than I ever could have imagined it myself. They painted a gorgeous background for our photographer to work with. We received so many compliments from our guests and we referred all the newly engaged couples to 23Eleven Events. I would highly recommend them for any event, especially a wedding. Amy is very talented and very capable of creating wedding masterpieces. They took a lot of the stress out of planning and no hassle on the day of. They set everything up and took everything down at the end of the night and we didn't have to worry about a thing! Amy and crew, we can't thank you enough for helping to make our special day absolutely perfect!
